Should flow a bit better IMO..

But yeah a different flavor.

The last few turns are a real skill test, I like the fact that they are not high speed and yet require skill. I do think the middle section between turn 3 and 7 could have been made much funner -- I mean the track wiggles but you can basically go straight. I want some real turns.

I was sitting out watching A group versus B group come out of the final turn into the straightaway, and boy could you tell a difference: B group were taking it with different lines, whereas A group everyone was single file. I can tell you that C group was even wilder in variation, man, approaching the turn and it's like everyone is headed different directions. I was heading to the outside while others were cutting in early...

Every turn requires a certain skill. To me those turns aren't hard. Just slow as hell which is meh.

My camera was not positioned correctly at Sonoma, and the battery died after 3 sessions. I was too busy to worry about it, so I have a video of the back of my boot... have to remember to not bother using it until after lunch next time.

My post disappeared...


Looks like I don't have any footage of you.

This might be you:


Couple more shots which might have a tiny pic of you:
